Refills and Wellorithm both prescribe GLP-1 medication online, take payment directly from the patient and ship to the door. That is where the overlap stops.
Refills publishes what it charges — GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day. Wellorithm does not: pricing is not published; you receive a quote only after completing the intake quiz. That asymmetry is the comparison, because you can only price-check one of these two before handing over a medical history.
This comparison works from what each provider publishes: the entry price, what it becomes at month two, the medication actually dispensed, and what is bundled rather than billed. No number here is inferred; if a provider does not publish it, the table says so.
The short answer
- Easier to price in advance
- Refills — GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day. The other side quotes after intake, so a like-for-like total is not available before you apply.
- Most predictable bill
- Refills — Flat rate at every dose, so titration does not change what you are charged.
- Tirzepatide access
- Refills — The only one of the two that publishes a dual GIP/GLP-1 option.
- Most support included
- Wellorithm — Virtual consultations with licensed clinicians.

What you will have spent by month twelve
The advertised rate answers the wrong question. So the table works in the timeframe treatment actually happens in.
| Refills | Wellorithm | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $99 | Not published |
| Months 2 onward | $99/mo | Not published |

A like-for-like annual total is not available for Wellorithm: pricing is not published; you receive a quote only after completing the intake quiz. Treat any comparison that quotes one as an estimate someone else has made for you.
One publishes a price. One does not.
Refills states its terms upfront: GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day, flat rate at every dose. You can decide whether it fits your budget without giving anyone a medical history.
Wellorithm inverts that: pricing is not published; you receive a quote only after completing the intake quiz. Personalization is a real justification, but the result is a quote delivered at the point you have already invested time in the process.
The workaround is straightforward: complete Wellorithm's assessment, get the quote, and then price it against Refills's published $99/mo before agreeing to anything.
Refills in detail
Refills offers personalized compounded GLP-1 from $99/month (~$5/day) with flat pricing, the same price at every dosage, plus free discreet shipping, 24/7 health concierge support, and no membership or app fees. Against Wellorithm, that puts it in the position of the harder of the two to price in advance.
The process is 3-minute approval quiz, then free, fast and discreet shipping on every order. On money, expect flat rate at every dose — published upfront.
Support: free 24/7 health concierge. The medications on offer are compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist.
Refills pros
- Free 24/7 Health Concierge support
- Free, fast, and discreet shipping on every order
- No insurance required, 3-minute approval quiz
- LegitScript-certified U.S. compounding pharmacies with third-party USP testing
Refills cons
- Compounded medication, not an FDA-approved branded product
- Clinicians come from partner telehealth networks (Beluga, Bask, Wasef Health)
- Availability varies by state
The cost of choosing this over Wellorithm: clinicians come from partner networks and availability varies by state.
How Wellorithm works
Take the 2-Minute Quiz to Check Your Eligibility What it is really selling here is licensed clinicians in all 50 states, which matters in the states where GLP-1 telehealth coverage is thin.
Getting started means 2-minute eligibility quiz, after which medication shipped to your home. Pricing runs on a quoted only after intake basis, quote only, after intake.
Ongoing care is virtual consultations with licensed clinicians, and the medication list runs to compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
Wellorithm pros
- Licensed clinicians in all 50 states, broader coverage than many smaller platforms
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Fully virtual consultations with medication shipped to your home
- No insurance pre-authorization required
Wellorithm cons
- Compounded medication only, no branded Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound
- Pricing is not published, you only get a quote after completing the intake quiz
- Smaller, less-established platform with limited public reviews
Against Refills specifically, the trade you are making: a smaller platform with no published price and limited public review volume.
Which one fits which patient
Choose Refills if:
- you want the price you sign up at to survive titration
- you want tirzepatide available without changing provider later
- you want the full price in front of you before completing an intake
- what it leads on is worth paying for in your case: $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing
Choose Wellorithm if:
- delivery works the way you want it to: medication shipped to your home
- the level of clinical contact suits you: virtual consultations with licensed clinicians
- you want to start on their timeline: 2-minute eligibility quiz
- you are in a state where GLP-1 telehealth coverage is patchy
The trade-offs, stated plainly
On price. Only Refills publishes a rate you can plan against (GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day). The other quotes after intake, which is a cost of a different kind: you cannot budget the year in advance.
On predictability. Flat rate at every dose versus quoted only after intake. Whichever you pick, get the maintenance-dose price in writing at intake.
On access. Refills advertises 3-minute approval quiz and free, fast and discreet shipping on every order; Wellorithm advertises 2-minute eligibility quiz and medication shipped to your home. Coverage differs too — availability varies by state against all 50 states — which decides the question before price does if you are in a restricted state.
On medication. Refills covers compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist; Wellorithm covers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. Only Refills publishes a tirzepatide route, which matters if semaglutide underdelivers.
The medication, not the platform
Both platforms sell access to the same drug class, so the clinical record below applies equally to each.
The FDA is explicit that a compounded preparation has not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality the way an approved drug has, per FDA.
The rules governing which pharmacies may compound, and under what conditions, sit in sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, per FDA.
Use it as the floor for the conversation with whichever prescriber you end up with, rather than as a reason to pick one platform over the other.
Refills vs Wellorithm: common questions
How much does Wellorithm cost?
Pricing is not published; you receive a quote only after completing the intake quiz. That is the honest answer, and it is the main practical drawback next to Refills, which publishes GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day upfront. If you go through the intake, ask for the month-two and maintenance-dose prices in writing before paying for the first month.
Which is cheaper to start, Refills or Wellorithm?
Only Refills publishes a first-month figure (GLP-1 from $99/mo, about $5 a day). The other quotes after intake, so a starting-cost comparison is not available in advance.
Which has more patient reviews, Refills or Wellorithm?
Refills, with 7,400 against 3,240. Ratings across this market cluster tightly, so volume is the more useful signal: it indicates how much operational load the platform has already absorbed, not how good the medication is.
Are Refills and Wellorithm legitimate?
Both are licensed telehealth platforms that route a prescription through a clinician review before anything is dispensed; neither sells medication without one. Refills operates on flat rate at every dose with pricing published upfront, Wellorithm on quoted only after intake, quote only, after intake. The meaningful due diligence is on the medication category and the terms, not on whether the platforms are real.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Both programs are month to month, which makes stopping easy and makes the consequence of stopping the thing to plan for: published extension data shows most of the lost weight returns within about a year. That is an argument for choosing on annual cost rather than entry price.
Does Refills or Wellorithm offer tirzepatide?
Refills does. Wellorithm publishes compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide only, so moving to tirzepatide would mean moving provider — a new intake, a new price, and the loss of any rate you had locked in.
Do Refills and Wellorithm prescribe the same medication?
Both dispense compounded GLP-1 preparations. Refills lists compounded semaglutide and GIP+GLP-1 dual agonist and Wellorithm lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, so the molecules overlap even where the formulary does not match exactly.
The verdict
Neither of these two publishes enough for a clean cost verdict, which is itself the finding. Refills leads on $99 flat at every dosage, from LegitScript-certified pharmacies with third-party USP testing; Wellorithm leads on licensed clinicians in all 50 states, which matters in the states where GLP-1 telehealth coverage is thin.
Before choosing either, get the maintenance-dose price in writing. Without it, any comparison — including this one — is working with half the information.
Get the maintenance-dose price in writing from whichever one you pick. That single question prevents most of the regret in this category.
